1 ..because he’s an experienced massive ruckman who doesn’t expect to be the No 1 and from all accounts is an amazing people /club person so will be a great ruck coach & 2 because Verall isn’t ready yet ..but surely too early to say he won’t make it

Probably not the right topic to put this on but there’s a great listen on RSN with Alan Richardson. Paraphrasing..Gawn & Trac are close to full fitness and importantly have missed only contact training which the club is ok with as they are so good at that. Oliver is very happy mentally and flying physically…club very excited. Also so happy to get Mentha and think he is tracking well. Hoping they finally have McAdams body right and if they can keep him fit and he is right now ..big bonus. Super impressed with Langford & Lindsay and they’ll be thereabouts round 1 sounded a bit more positive re Johnson playing Rnd 1. They feel that JVR is right to go ..it’s his time. Petty will be a valuable swing player for us. Rivers is wanted by both midfield and backline coaches so very happy with his progression & finally re Kozzie ..WA teams are keen to get him but as far as MFC is concerned Kozzie will be with us for a long time. He and his family are very happy here. Anyway I feel very excited after that listen ..

Apparently Kynan Brown was helped off the ground ..walking between 2 trainers ..did you notice that ?

I tend to think that Kozzie’s comment about wanting to play in WA with the Indigenous team has been construed that he wants to play for Freo. Poetic license ..Tom Morris ..Sam McClure are perennial offenders

Why and where was it said that KOZ stated he wants to play in WA. I have read that if a team came out of the Northern Territory he would want to play there but then I’m guessing most Aboriginal players would be keen to play in that team. I have however read in reputable articles (The Age for one) that he is very happy here and has interests outside of footy in Melb …

In any elite competition/business etc the margins between top ..middle & bottom are generally minuscule. Take our last season ..our injury list impacted some of our top players. They were replaced by our up & coming players but not elite players. Still the margins in our losing games were minimal & flip a couple of those results and we make top 8. Positives from our disadvantages of last year those young players got games & AFL experience..we gained another 2 top 10picks.. & at this stage of the preseason we are travelling pretty well. If luck goes our way (in the uncontrollables) we can flip the results pretty quickly. We’re training well ..our list is pretty fit ..we just need what every team can’t control ..a bit of luck

I still felt your post was derogatory, Maybe you take the advice that Binman gave GW. If you don’t agree with her then let it go. Posters can make their own mind up as to what we believe …we don’t need to post our opinions. They are only of interest to yourself ..

If we get a fit Spargo back then a massive plus as far as I’m concerned. I think a few forget his contribution before he went down the very long injury path …

He’s is recovering from a shoulder …was in a sling a month or so ago

In his radio interview he felt his injury had finally taken a turn for the better and was pretty confident he would be right for Rnd 1 …they are being very conservative with him ..,

He suffered a “syndesmosis injury against the GC Suns and didn’t play again. Pretty sure that doesn’t come under “finally” omitted..

This…thank you. How many other social media post etc from other MFC players have we seen …he is actually just one of many . I’m more interested watching /hearing about our new recruits & younger players. They are the ones who will lift us up the ladder..we know what we can get from our older brigade.

Maybe listen to Spargo’s radio interview on RSN …only positive vibes re Clarry & Trac…

That was a fantastic interview. So interesting to hear about his injury especially ..he has certainty done the hard yards there. One of the better interviews to listen to …

As soon as Dean Cox ruled himself out of WC job..this was def on the cards. Not bad timing..Cox will effectively be there for the preseason of the whole team. The coaches under pressure next season will be a tad nervous with Longmire in the background…
